Perfect for beginners, but if you are serious about the game, you might be disappointed. There are cracks on all the courts. Near the nets are cracks big enough that I'd be afraid that I would "catch an edge" and possibly "take a header." Most of the cracks away from the nets have been patched. The courts appear to have been painted this year.
